same old, same old - leo alexander lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m running out of sp*ce to tally the days on this cobbled wall
i’m sat in this place, day after day, waiting for his call
he’ll arrive, late at night, and expect the tower clean
he’ll lay down, all sprawled out, drowning in jewellery
i smile and say, “how was your day?” and bring sweet treats
but his silver eyes can’t see the spite behind mine tonight
can you spell “cyanide”? (oops)

[chorus]
all my days have been the same old, same old
monotonous days, going crazy
please, somebody save me
from the same old, same old sh*t again

[verse 2]
the leader’s down, lookin’ around, his eyes are empty
i packed a bag, dished up a snack, and turned the key
the outside air is not like what i remember
mother nature’s been waving some powerful sceptre
trickling nectar

[chorus]
all my days have been the same old, same old
nightmare sh*t, once again
just had to play pretend
and cut my way free from the same old, same old…
oh, everything had been the same old, same old
monotonous days, going crazy
please, somebody save me
from the same old, same old sh*t again

[verse 3]
the people of the next town over are far more lovely
than the men i’ve been trained to entertain back home
the houses of this town here are made of wood and sticks and love
not cobbled cracks and faulty tacks and all worn, decayed and cold at night
i much prefer the aquifer by the wooden village here
lakeside, drinking beer

[chorus]
all my days have been the same old, same old
nightmare sh*t, once again
just had to play pretend
and cut my way free from the same old, same old

oh, everything had been the same old, same old
monotonous days, going crazy
please, somebody save me
from the same old, same old sh*t again

[bridge]
leader of the stables, mayor of the mares
“to what do i owe the pleasure?” i asked
as he put his hand in mine
he squeezed it tight, he told me…
“the village is lovely when you first arrive
you’d stay a long time, you’d watch as it thrives
you’d see the smiles fade and watch the greens wither away
this civilisation is truly at its knees, believe me
this is no place to stay the rest of your days

if you trust me, my love, you can meet me here at dusk
we’ll never see these iron shackles of wooden shacks again”

[post*bridge]
is this what i think it is?
my days being revived with some new constant
one new man to ponder
is this what i think it is?
is he gonna be the one
who saves me from this same old, same old sh*t for once?

[chorus]
all my days have been the same old, same old
nightmare sh*t, it never ends
someone had to play pretend
squirming my way free

everything had been the same old, same old
monotonous days drove me crazy
i gotta let this guy save me
from the same old, same old sh*t again
[verse 4]
i grabbed his hand, “take me with you,” i said
“i’ve seen too much pain and horror not to trust you”
i climbed aboard his trusty steed
and watched the lights behind me disappear
the nature’s all that’s left for me out here

[outro]
the outside air is not like what i remember
that village must have some kind of sceptre
sickening nectar
